More about

Club Steward

Go To Website

Club Steward is golf and country club management software from Ardn Cloud Solutions, an Orlando, Florida software company. It puts the tee sheet and carts, pro shop and outlet point of sale, membership sales and online join, dues and billing, accounting and a club-branded member app on one member record. Ardn builds and runs the software as a managed service for single clubs and multi-club groups. Courses and golfers can write a Club Steward review using this SURVEY FORM.

Who Club Steward is for

Club Steward is aimed at private and semi-private golf and country clubs, and at operators that run several clubs and want one set of member records with reports rolled up by club or region. It is newer than most club management systems listed on GCTR, so operator reviews will take time to build up.

What Club Steward offers

  • Membership sales and onboarding. A shared lead pool, sales pipeline and tours, e-signed membership contracts, and onboarding that starts once payment clears. An add-on club website includes a six-step online join with e-signature and payment.
  • Member app. A per-club app in the club's own brand with the member card, benefits remaining, bills and bookings.
  • Tee times and carts. An add-on tee sheet with rate grids, booking windows by membership tier, live member allowances and cart fleet management.
  • Point of sale and e-commerce. A register for each outlet that charges to member accounts and sells gift cards, plus an online pro shop with member prices and pre-orders.
  • Dues, billing and accounting. Card and ACH autopay, prorated first periods and automatic retries of failed payments, with books kept per club or consolidated.
  • Events, HR and member service. Room holds, online quotes, banquet event orders and seating; hiring, onboarding, scheduling and staff pay; and an AI chatbot that answers from the member's account and hands off to staff.
  • Benefits and multi-club controls. Golf rounds, guest passes, dining discounts and other benefits with reset periods and caps, reciprocal access between clubs, more than 550 permissions, an audit log and a 30-day recycle bin.

Pricing

Club Steward is priced as a flat fee per club, with each module priced individually and no per-seat charges. Ardn does not publish the figures and quotes each club.

Core modules and add-ons

Membership Sales and the club-branded Members App are core. Tee-Times, Point of Sale, e-Commerce, Subscription Billing and Dues, Events and Catering, Website and Marketing, HR, the Member Service chatbot and the Accounting Suite are add-ons that are switched on per club.

Payments, data and integrations

Each club uses its own card-processing account, chosen from Club Steward's integrated processors, so Club Steward is not the processor. Dues run on card or ACH autopay. Club Steward says it is PCI compliant, has an open API, and that each club owns its data, with CSV exports and scheduled data feeds. Members book tee times in the member app and portal; an embeddable booking widget for a club's own website is not available yet.

What Club Steward does not say yet

Club Steward does not yet name golf club customers, and says named references will follow as agreements close. It has not confirmed connections to third-party booking engines or marketplaces, contract terms, or whether the member app runs on iOS and Android. Treat those as questions to ask until Club Steward confirms them.

  • Which integrated card processors can we choose from, and at what rates?
  • Does the tee sheet take public online bookings, and does it connect to booking engines or marketplaces?
